Chapter 501: Bai Yichen Attacks!
Rumble!
At that moment, the main peak of Chaos Heaven Peak suddenly trembled. The void rippled like water, and then a massive passageway appeared.
Within the passageway, Outer Sect Disciples were teleported out one by one. The first to appear were those disciples who had voluntarily given up on Chaos Wind Island and Void Chaos Island. Although they had been eliminated, they had at least managed to preserve their lives.
These disciples numbered in the thousands. Their faces were filled with regret, unwillingness, and remorse. However, they received no attention from the elders or the Inner Sect Disciples.
Being eliminated during the first two stages, regardless of the reason, meant that their potential was limited. In the eyes of those watching, they were destined to achieve little.
It was only nearly half an hour later that Li Yun and the other Outer Sect Disciples who had reached Chaos Heaven Island were finally teleported out.
"Hm?"
Elder Xingluo’s expression suddenly changed.
His gaze swept through the crowd, but he could not find Crown Prince Xing Tian.
Not only that, he did not see his grandson Xing Chenhao either, nor did he see any of Crown Prince Xing Tian’s many followers.
"What is going on?"
Bai Yichen’s face also turned deathly pale. All the Outer Sect Disciples from the Chaos Heaven Secret Realm had already been teleported out, yet Crown Prince Xing Tian and the others had not appeared.
Could it be...
A terrifying thought suddenly appeared in his mind. The moment he thought of that possibility, his heart sank heavily, and his face became pale.
"Speak."
In the next moment, Elder Xingluo’s figure swooped down. He casually grabbed an Outer Sect Disciple who had reached Chaos Heaven Island and roared almost frantically, "Where is Crown Prince Xing Tian? Why has Crown Prince Xing Tian not come out?"
"Crown Prince Xing Tian..."
That Outer Sect Disciple’s face instantly turned pale. Sweat poured down his body as he could not help glancing in Li Yun’s direction. His lips trembled, and he struggled to utter a few words.
Bang!
As soon as he finished speaking, his body was crushed to pieces by Elder Xingluo.
"Ah!"
Elder Xingluo’s eyes turned bloodshot. His expression became frenzied as he roared furiously, "Li Yun, you are seeking death."
Boom!
In the next moment, Elder Xingluo struck out with his palm.
A torrent of essence qi surged forth like a tidal wave, crashing violently toward Li Yun.
Boom!
As an elder of the Heavenly Sword Sect, Elder Xingluo was a super powerhouse of the Heavenly Core Realm. A strike unleashed in a fit of rage by someone at his level was truly earth-shattering.
Under his palm, heaven and earth seemed to lose their color. The air collapsed piece by piece, forming a massive black hole. That black hole spiraled downward like a nightmare that could devour everything, intending to swallow Li Yun completely.
"Stop."
Just as the palm was about to land on Li Yun, light flashed in Elder Yuechi’s eyes not far away. She suddenly struck out as well, releasing a palm strike that was no weaker. With a thunderous collision, her attack intercepted Elder Xingluo’s palm and directly neutralized it in mid-air.
"Elder Xingluo, you are a dignified sect elder, yet you actually attacked a mere Outer Sect Disciple. Do you not feel ashamed?"
After stopping Elder Xingluo, Elder Yuechi revealed a faint smile that was not quite a smile. Deep within her eyes, a trace of gloating could be seen.
The Chaos Heaven Secret Realm had closed, yet Crown Prince Xing Tian had failed to appear. Connecting this with Elder Xingluo’s furious reaction, Elder Yuechi naturally had a faint suspicion in her heart.
When she recalled how Elder Xingluo had spoken with such certainty earlier, as though he had personally seen Crown Prince Xing Tian suppress all rivals and obtain the inheritance of the Heaven Grade palace, a sense of satisfaction and schadenfreude could not help rising within her.
"Elder Yuechi, you dare stop me?"
Elder Xingluo’s hair flared with rage. He was already furious, and Elder Yuechi’s attitude only made him even more incensed. He immediately roared, "This Li Yun is incredibly bold. He dared to kill the crown prince of my Starheaven Ancient Kingdom and my own grandson, Xing Chenhao. His crimes are monstrous and unforgivable. You dare stop me? Do you wish to oppose the Starheaven Ancient Kingdom?"
"Hm?"
Hearing this, Elder Yuechi could not help frowning as she turned her gaze toward Li Yun.
At the same time, the rest of the elders, Inner Sect Disciples, and Outer Sect Disciples all looked toward Li Yun in utter shock.
Crown Prince Xing Tian had actually died at Li Yun’s hands.
"Who exactly is this Li Yun? To be so audacious as to dare kill even Crown Prince Xing Tian. Has he grown tired of living?"
"Crown Prince Xing Tian represents the face of the Starheaven Ancient Kingdom. By killing him, Li Yun has stirred up a hornet’s nest. The Starheaven Ancient Kingdom will never let him go."
"I am afraid a massive earthquake is about to shake the entire Heavenly Sword Sect."
If these ordinary disciples were merely shocked, then Bai Yichen felt something beyond shock. To him, it was absurd and almost impossible to believe.
Crown Prince Xing Tian had many powerhouses like Xing Chenhao under him, and he even possessed a devastating weapon like the Annihilating Profound Thunder. Under such circumstances, Crown Prince Xing Tian had actually been killed by Li Yun.
This was simply like a fantasy.
Yet this unbelievable thing had truly happened. The dignified crown prince of the Starheaven Ancient Kingdom had been killed.
Hiss!
After sucking in a cold breath, a thought suddenly flashed through Bai Yichen’s mind like lightning.
With Elder Yuechi and the others present, it was clearly inappropriate for Elder Xingluo, as a sect elder, to directly attack Li Yun. However, if Bai Yichen stepped forward and killed Li Yun himself, he would undoubtedly render a great service to the Starheaven Ancient Kingdom.
When that time came, his status before his master would definitely rise significantly. For him, this was a rare opportunity that might never appear again.
"Li Yun, you have quite a lot of nerve."
Immediately, Bai Yichen shouted loudly, "Crown Prince Xing Tian was the heir to the throne of my Starheaven Ancient Kingdom, yet you dared to murder him. Such a crime is punishable by heaven and earth, an outrage to both gods and men. Everyone has the right to execute you. I shall kill you now to uphold the name of my Starheaven Ancient Kingdom."
As his voice fell, he suddenly stepped forward, crossing several hundred meters in an instant, and then threw a fierce punch toward Li Yun.
Boom!
